I'm sick of always feeling like I'm on edge, constantly getting pushed and pushed that little extra bit until I snap, it's not that I'm depressed I just feel overwhelmed with everything.
I feel like I'm getting pulled in a thousand different directions and have to bearing on which way to go. Part of it is the time of year, the "holiday season" stresses me out beyond existence.Court with the baby-daddys is getting there and then just the regular everyday stressors that get to me. I feel like every little thing gets blown into something bigger because I make it bigger, I try not too but when I try not to stress I stress more...
The hard part... is my kids are huge triggers for me. When I'm 1:2 I feel ok and still in control of them, but when it gets to be 1:3 I feel so out of control that I get that fluster starting. Then something happens and it's the end of the world and I'm sitting in the corner or in the kitchen hiding from them hoping they just ignore me and do their own thing.
p-doc appointment thursday, not sure where to go with that.

Do not resent growing old, many are denied the privilege.

How old are you kids, Ami? This only works for a certain age of kids, but I used to tell my daughter, "I'm in my bubble now," when I needed a break from her pestering, which meant, "Please do not disturb." (I love my kid, but at a certain age, they sure know how to pester!)
Another thing: One time, I called a friend who has 5 kids, and her youngest answered the phone. He said, "Mommy can't come to the phone right know, she's in the closet." I'm not kidding. She would go into the closet whenever she felt she was about to blow a head gasket. And her kids knew not to disturb her. I say this just to let you know that it's perfectly okay to "hide out" somehow when your kids overwhelm you. It's kind of good, actually, it teaches them boundaries. Just as long as you ensure for their safety of course, and you let them know that you're taking a time-out.

The kids are 6, 3 and 2. I'm literally lol'ing at that, I think I like that idea, however I think it might alarm some people.
Thanks!
